So some of you may remember about two weeks ago I found what I assume was a deer mouse crawling in my bed at night. I set a trap and caught it, and sealed up access points all around the house.
I got tested for lyme and a few other diseases which came back negative. I still feel lethargic and meh, and haven't been sleeping well at night. I don't have a fever or really any other symptoms aside from feeling tired.
I cannot for the life of me stop worrying about contracting Hantavirus from this mice encounter. I found droppings in a bathroom drawer and in several places in the garage of the house im renting, which i thoroughly disinfected with bleach before removing. I also went into a crawl space over the garage which was loaded with dead bugs. I didn't really see any mouse droppings but I know they were in there.
Am I just being paranoid? Anyone have experience with this sometimes fatal virus?
